  • I couldn't find any info about ELs 1000 (http://www.aukweb.net/perms/detail/DHU08/). Doesn't look like many people have ridden it.

    If I can get over my fear of organising/riding DIYs I would probably make everything a lot easier for myself. I'd be able to do stuff when I wanted rather than wait for organisers or calendar events.

    Still want to ride the Crackpot and Maniac at some stage plus the Mille Pen and the Pendle. I wonder, can the Pendle be done as a Perm?

  • Its not listed, but you could submit it as a diy by gps if you had a track

    Can't see a perm version of it but...

    Now there's DIY by GPS anything can be done as a Perm (although speaking to the calendar event organiser to check it's ok is the polite thing to do, more than likely they'll be happy to provide a routesheet, details of what's likely to be open at various times, etc).

    Before DIY by GPS some rides weren't DIYable because you couldn't get proof-of-passage at key places to make it up to distance. The extra 'mandatory routing' option makes it even easier as you don't have to nominate random controls, just stick to the route (some minor deviations are ok, especially if beyond your control - e.g. road closures).

    They do rely on you providing a complete (or near complete) GPS tracklog though, which is a struggle for some Garmins.
